Love Hurts NINE Yvan Ivanov
Martin POV..It was past six in the morning when my phone on the bedside table rang. I groaned on that loud ringing, whoever was calling me now surely had a death wish. I picked up the phone and stared at the caller ID. My still sleepy orbs blurred the fonts that were written there, so instead of looking at the caller, I put my phone near my ear."What!" my voice came out loud, forgetting that my kitten was beside me sleeping like an angel. I glanced over my shoulder to see if I woke her up. Thank goodness, she didn't even move a bit. A smile crept my lips upon seeing the long slender flawless leg wrapping around my waist and the hand that was on my chest. I felt like she secured her property with this position claiming I was hers."Boss, it's me Luke!" my mind stopped thinking about her for awhile and focused on the call. "My apologies, but it's urgent!" Luke would never call me if it wasn't urgent or something important. I was always the one calling him."Report!" I stealthily got
Love Hurts TEN Kota is in Danger
It took me a couple of hours to go to Safe Haven, the factory where I usually spent my time. Here, I could think well, coordinate with my men well, and focus well. It was a three-story wide building with wide parking space in front and a big cafeteria for my workers at the back. There's also some gazebo, five to be exact, where my workers and my men could take some rest during their break time.As I parked my car just in front of the main door, two of my men came rushing in to greet me. It had always been like this every time I arrived. Leon, the masculine guy and Enzo, tall and skinny, bowed upon seeing me getting off my Lamborghini."Boss! Buongiorno! (Good morning)" they both chimed in."Buongiorno!" I answered back. "Com'è andato il funzionamento dei peluche? (How's the operation of the stuffed toys?)" we spoke in Italian most of the time, for there was some confidential information we couldn't just disclose with the female workers. These workers had no idea that me, their boss, w
Love Hurts ELEVEN He Did it Again
Dakota POV . . "A*shole!" I murmured, talking to myself while inside of an Uber. The driver shyly looked at me in the rearview mirror. "Don't mind me!" I just told him, and his eyes went back to his driving. Who would not get mad? First, he forced me to come with him. Second, he...forced me to have s*x with him. Then lastly, he left without even leaving a note. It was a good thing the assistant whose name was Lanie, helped me call an Uber for I wasn't able to charge my phone, and I didn't have time to do it this morning. "We're here!" the driver nudged my thoughts. I gave him my card and he swiped it right away. I got out of the car and strode straight to the building where my unit was. However, upon reaching the entrance, a guy, probably in his late 20s approached me. "Excuse me, miss. I'm new to New York, especially in this area. I'm looking for this flat!" he showed me a brochure of the newly built tower just two blocks away from my building. "Oh! The Sitara Tower? J
Love Hurts TWELVE Café Vein
I tried to get up after about 30 minutes of that intense quickie Martin, and I did. I remembered I promised a new friend lunch and now it was too late. I charged my phone first while choosing a simple dress for a fine three-o-clock snack. Ocean blue, sleeveless turtle neck maxi dress with a side slit. At least it covered my hickeys. I took my white knee-length boots from the shoe rack and paired them with a small white purse. I gave my brunette hair some volume as it cascaded down my back. With a minimal touch of make-up and light red lipstick, I was ready to go. "Oh! Shoot!" I almost forgot my phone on the bedside table. Checking my missed calls and text messages, I gasped in horror. 50 missed calls from Martin and 10 missed calls from an unknown number. I could guess that must be Harry, and I was right for when I checked the messages, he introduced his name there. Harry: Hi, Dakota! Ahm! It's me, Harry, the Sitara guy. This is my number, by the way. Are we still ok with the lunch?
Love Hurts THIRTEEN Godfather's Order
Unknown POV..I began with the first step, and it seemed to be going well. I thought I would travel a rocky road or climb a stiff mountain, but it was the exact opposite. I went back to my temporary abode to update my boss about the happenings today, and I couldn't wait to hear his praise.I took my phone from my pocket and called a number. The line rang three times before somebody answered it."Who's this?" his voice was thunder, firm, and stern."It's me, godfather!" I uttered as I ambled to the open window of my unit. The terrace was overwhelming. I was on the 50th floor of this single tower in the heart of the city. It was almost dinner time, and the sky highlighted the fiery hue of the sunset. A thin smile crept on my lips, what a beautiful scenery it was."Report now!" my brows furrowed at his tone, but I was used to it. I was thankful he was on the phone. It would be worse if he was in front of me. He was an average-level, well-built man, but he looked like a giant to me."I'
Love Hurts FOURTEEN Luminous Lounge
Dakota POV..The early bird catches the worm, people would usually say. Not for me, my energy usually kicked me best at night.

Love Hurts FIFTEEN He Slapped Her
"Sit down!" he pushed me down to the couch, I saw Shantel smirk at my sorry state. "What are you doing here?" I was irked in pain at the impact of the push."What I do with my life is none of your business, Martin. I can do whatever the h*ck I want!" I spat out. He was furious, I was enraged.He was about to raise his hand, and I flinched at his gesture when Shantel held his shoulder in a flirty way."Tesoro mio (My darling), please be gentle with her. She didn't mean to upset you!" her filthy hands were looping around his arm.I could hear Martin's rapid breathing, he was controlling himself. He shoved Shantel's hands away and turned around. I was just staring at him. If Shantel didn't hold his shoulder, he could have hit me. A drop of tear was beginning to appear, and while no one's looking, I wiped it with the back of my palm."Ahhh!" he screamed, frustrated. I jolted at the loudness and intensity of his voice, even Shantel jumped on her spot. Luke and Enzo just bowed their heads.

I had an inkling that Yvan was not in Russia. He was here in New York, lurking around and waiting for the opportunity to cut my head off."Martin, what if we give Derick additional benefits?" Shantel suggested.We are in the VIP room on the 2nd floor of my club. The lights were minimal, but clear enough to see each other's facial expressions. For now, Derick wasn't sure if he would agree with my plan about the new shipments coming or not. Since the previous one was seized by the cops.I turned my gaze to Shantel, who was sitting closely beside me. She had a point. We had to convince Derick quickly and close the deal now."Don't get me wrong, Martin,
